Minden Audio Tour: Tracks, Locks & Legends of Industry and Waterways
Giant towers of coffee, alarms slicing through the night, and secret currents beneath the city’s cobblestones—Minden hides more than first meets the eye. Unlock a self-guided audio adventure winding through Minden’s overlooked corners. Dive into the intriguing worlds behind the iconic Melitta Company, the ever-vigilant Fire Brigade, and the storied Waterways and Shipping Office. Every location holds stories that most travelers never hear. What really happened during the midnight blaze that changed the Fire Brigade forever? Which invention brewed up controversy—and feuds—at Melitta? Who vanished one winter’s morning along the canal, and did the river ever give up its secret? Navigate buzzing workshops, riverside offices, and age-old control rooms where drama once shook the city. Sense Minden’s industrial heartbeat and uncover well-guarded mysteries as you move. Curiosity and courage unlock Minden’s core. Put on your headphones and let the real stories surface.
